A. Clean your child's mouth every day Wipe the gums off each time after feeding them. You can use a wet cloth wrapped around your finger to gently rub the tender gums but be careful not to put too much pressure. As soon as your baby's teeth appear, brush twice a day with an infant toothbrush and a mild toothpaste.

Q. #AskTheExpert Hi doctor, my son is 14 months old having 4 teeth top and 3 teeth down. iam trying to brush his teeth with finger brush. Though he doesn't like brushing I somehow manage brushing but cleaning his tongue with tongue cleaner provided on the back of finger brush is becoming a hectic task. He nvr allows me to clean his tongue. can I use a cotton cloth and clean his tongue which I used to do earlier when he was a baby. when can I start brushing his teeth and cleaning his tongue without him making a fuss.
